Wayne Levy, 59, joined MoviePass in January. A physician in Oahu, Hawaii, Levy used the movie-ticket subscription service that offered a movie per day for $9.95 per month to see films between leaving work and catching up with friends on Friday nights. He estimated he watched 5-6 movies per month using the service, most of them films like Oceans 8 and Super Troopers 2 that he says he probably wouldn’t have bothered with otherwise.

Dogs enjoy watching TV just as humans do. In fact, they like it because their humans do.

Virtual reality movies may be over before they really started.

Netflix doesn’t do average.

Google’s code of conduct encourages employees to not be evil and speak up when they see something they think isn’t right. They’re speaking up now.

Cinema stocks got a lift on word that Amazon might be getting into the movie theater business.

MoviePass members can basically only watch movies MoviePass wants them to see now.

MoviePass’s 3 million members are costing it a fortune.

MoviePass members who recently canceled subscriptions for its movie-ticket service are finding their accounts may not have been canceled after all: A pop-up message within the app has been re-enrolling them, Vox found.

Hollywood is one of the least predictable industries in the world. Yet even during a decade of dwindling theater attendance, there are a few things movie studios count on: franchises like Star Wars, action heroes like Dwayne Johnson, and shark movies. That’s right, shark movies.

College students Nathan Yee, Sam Yaffa, and Yash Thukral have learned a lot about business from studying MoviePass parent Helios and Matheson Analytics over the past couple of months. All three subscribe to MoviePass, a movie-ticket service that gets members into a movie showing per day for $9.95 a month, and say their family and friends use the service, too. The platform grew rapidly to 3 million members over the last year, but costs also ballooned out of control, and led to frustrating service issues and changes to the platform. It all seemed to stem from financial troubles from Helios, which owns 92% of MoviePass, the students say.

Disney has always hitched its streaming-video star to its blockbuster movie studios. But the media giant’s subscription service won’t have many of the latest movies from Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, or Disney itself when it launches in late 2019.

What do you get with MoviePass? Who even knows anymore.

Everything is not alright.

It’s now easier to pony up money to see a movie than it is to use the movie-ticket subscriptions on the market.

In 2010, Google stopped censoring its search engines in China. It pulled its services there and redirected users in the country to the uncensored Hong Kong version of the platform. Soon after, access to Google was blocked to most in the country.

Americans now spend most of their waking hours watching TV, listening to music, using apps on their smartphones, or otherwise consuming media, a new study finds.

Well, it was good deal while it lasted.

MoviePass’s latest survival plan appears to be barring paying subscribers from using the service to see movies.

Fans of the Netflix series GLOW have been patiently (for the most part), awaiting word on whether the women’s professional wrestling comedy will be returning for a third season. Season two racked up an impressive 10 Emmy nods after it hit the service in June, and some fans expected a swift renewal announcement. But the show’s creators were mum at a Television Critics Association panel over the weekend on whether the show would officially continue.

Metallica never plays the same show twice.

Expect a lot more TV series, movies, and specials from HBO.

Cord-cutting isn’t slowing down.
